(I m)possible R ealism a counterpoint
Impossible Realism is a conversation, a textual counterpoint, that was triggered by some “difficult” archival photos Mollona found during his field research in a Brazilian industrial town. He asked Clifford to discuss these images, and the exchange soon revolved around the challenge of representing cultural and class differences in situations of rapid change. How to engage, non‐reductively, with multiple post‐Western histories? The authors discov…
Made in Sheffield
In 1900, Sheffield was the tenth largest city in the world. Cutlery “made in Sheffield” was used across the globe, and the city built armored plate for the navy in the run-up to the First World War. Today, however, Sheffield’s derelict Victorian shop floors and industrial buildings are hidden behind new leisure developments and shopping centers. \n \nBased on an extended period of research in two local steel factories, this book combines a lively…
Art/Commons
Art/Commons is the first book to theorise the commons from the perspectives of contemporary art history and anthropology, focusing on the ongoing tensions between art and capitalism. This study is grounded in an analysis of contemporary artistic and curatorial practices, which the author describes as practices of commoning, based on co-production, participation, mutualism and the valorization of reproductive labour. Mollona proposes a novel theor…

Factory, Family and Neighbourhood
This article explores the experience of formal and informal steel labour in the contexts of the factory, the family, and the neighbourhood in ‘Endcliffe’, an ex-industrial district of Sheffield, UK. The article reiterates Claude Meillassoux’s claim, in his book Maidens, meal and money, that the informal economy is an ideological space for the cheap reproduction of labour in the interests of capital. Nevertheless, it also examines subjective and e…
Seeing the Invisible
In July 1791, the story goes, a small voodoo gathering in Santo Domingo sparked the Haitian Revolution, the first black anti-colonial revolution in history. The glorious history of the "Republic of the black Jacobins" was often celebrated by Surrealist artists in New York and Paris in their exposé of the decadent state of colonial powers in the aftermath of the Second World War. For instance, Haiti is central to André Breton's anti-colonial manif…
Trabalho e ação coletiva
Situada na região sul fluminense, a cidade siderúrgica de Volta Redonda, conhecida internacionalmente, tem um longo histórico de organização e mobilização operária, que se desdobra em termos de seus movimentos populares. O presente trabalho analisa as formas pelas quais militantes dos movimentos sindical e popular constroem suas memórias acerca das mobilizações experimentadas nesse município nas décadas de 1980 e 1990, verificando as representaçõ…
Observation, Performance and Revolution
Following up on Marcus's seminal article on cinema and ethnography [1995 Marcus , George 1995 The Modernist Sensibility in Recent Ethnographic Writing and the Cinematic Metaphor of Montage . In Fields of Vision. Essays in Film Studies, Visual Anthropology and Photography . Leslie Devereaux and Richard Hillman , eds. Pp. 2 – 12 . Berkeley : University of California Press . [Google Scholar]] and weaving together anthropology, film theory and the an…
Community unionism versus business unionism
In this article, I discuss different forms of working-class activism in two steel factories in Sheffield, England, where I conducted fieldwork between 1999 and 2000. Locating the ethnography in the broader context of the U.K.'s financial capitalism, I describe how the models of "community unionism" and "business unionism" were implemented on the two shop floors, affecting the work practices, political strategies, and forms of solidarities of work…
